... Phonon scattering • Fermi energy ~ 3 eV • Phonons have maximum energy ~50 meV • Scattering must be to an empty state • Thus only electrons close to Fermi surface can be scattered • Must conserve energy and momentum • Collisions which relax momentum gained in applied electric field lead to resistance ...

Basic Electronics
... Conductors, Insulators, and Semiconductors When electrons can move easily from atom to atom in a material, the material is a conductor. In general, all metals are good conductors. A material with atoms in which the electrons tend to stay in their own orbits is an insulator because it cannot con ...

... spectroscopy complements absorption spectroscopy because the selection rules are different. In order to see this, we will assume that we have a diatomic molecule with characteristic vibrational frequency ωvib . Also, we will assume that the electric field E (the photon) has frequency ω ⇒ E = E0 cos ...
